Resolution No. PC-93-28 Page 2 The location of the house in which the piano lessons are to be conducted is in a PUD-MDR zone, a residential zone similar to the R-l zone. The development, the planned community of staples Ranch built by Kaufman and Broad, follows the regulations of the R-1-6,500 zoning district except those modified by conditions of approval for the development. piano lessons are a use which traditionally has been conducted within a residence, particularly when such a service is provided on such a small scale. The students are equipped with headphones for their keyboards and, therefore, their playing would not be heard aloud. The windows have special panes to shield the home from exterior noise and also prevent noises from within reaching outside. with adequate parking on the street, parking problems would be eliminated. As proposed, the use would not generate excessive traffic, parking demand, or noise. Therefore, the lessons would be conducted in accordance with Chapter 18.104, and so would meet the objectives of the zoning ordinance. B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to the properties or improvements in the vicinity. The use would be located in a single-family home. The area is improved completely with streets and sidewalks, which is advantageous for students who would walk or ride bicycles to lessons. These improvements provide a measure of safety for the students, and create low potential for interference with other vehicles on the streets. 3683 Annis Circle is occupied by only two resi- dents, the applicant and her spouse. The cars they own are always parked in their two-car garage. This frees the driveway and six parking spaces on the two streets in front of the house (all six spaces are in front of the house and not on the opposite side of W Las positas Boulevard or Annis Circle). with a maximum of four students at any one time, parking is not a foreseeable problem even if all four students are above age 16 and come in individual cars. Should problems arise due to parking shortage or excess traffic, a condition will allow the use permit to be re-evaluated by the Planning Commission at a public hearing.
